Engine Thermostat bolt torque

[palmer_df0130]

Anybody know the torque specs for the thermostat on our year trucks? I could only find prior year trucks specs when using Google. Thanks.

somewhere between finger tight and hand tight,,  did you buy a $120 torque wrench to tighten those bolts, : )

Note the housing is a polymer? Metal tubes at bolt holes? "O" ring standing slight proud of those tubes? You will feel the fastener firmly bottom when the gasket is compressed enough to make a tight seal under pressure. Torque specs in these situations are for people with a 'deaf hand'.
